What lighter weight front wheel would you recommend to replace my current stock 5th/6th gen front wheel?
On my 2001 5th gen, I have DMr F4i forks, RC51 SP2 calipers, and stock 5th/6th gen front wheel/rotors. I have no problem with this setup - I love it. I am shopping for a second set of wheels, so for the second set, I’m looking for a front wheel option that weighs less than the stock wheel I’m currently using.
My budget is $400 for a front wheel and front rotors ($400 does not include bearings, dust seals, custom spacers etc, which are separate budget items). Donor candidates for a lighter front wheel could be CBR600RR, CBR600F4 (1999-2000), CBR929/954RR, CBR1000RR, Ducati 848/1098, or any other workable solution.
I feel certain the front brake rotor diameter/offset/width, axle diameter, and axle spacer data I seek is on our website in easy-to-extract spreadsheet form, but I have failed to unearth it.
This thread seemed perfect, but no longer functions:

After 2 solid hours of searching forums and threads, I am now asking outright.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
